Jennifer (Jenny) was first introduced to Yoga around 1995, after attending a class at the local gym. She used yoga as a method to improved flexibility within her daily workouts. “As I attended the classes and met other people, the instructor brought intention to our classes and I began to wonder what else yoga was.”

Having served in the Army for over 25 years, Jenny was pulled in and even drawn towards high-stress positions; this was the tempo she felt accustomed to. In 2001 Jenny began to explore the more spiritual sides of yoga, and to also understand its health benefits.

Wanting to avoid any medications for anxiety and finding a new pull towards living a life beyond her normal high-stress tempo, Jenny met and worked with a instructor while in Afghanistan that introduced her to yoga-beyond the asana practice.

“As a student I have made yoga a practice, through the daily exploration of either a meditation, an asana, attending a class at the local studio, reading and watching documentaries or joining digitally and practicing with different instructors and their “flow”. It has brought balance to my life and given me the tools I need when I feel myself sliding into the dark spaces again.”

Outside of yoga Jenny spends her time outdoors on paddle boards, kayaking, diving, running, or walking trails and exploring nature. She and her husband have lived in the Keys for over 4 years now, and find ourselves enjoying the “Island Time” feeling and learning to slow it down.
